hhmmm,

there's a 00readme.txt in that folder as well. The one in fonts should start

The one in demos/stdfont should start

"""This lists out the standard 14 fonts

Looking at your setup.py output I don't see anything obviously wrong, 
but is it actually just lying about where the files get placed?
